Yes, it only addresses half of the purpose of the amendment, flat-out ignoring the arts, but for now I feel like it’s best to keep the message simple. I haven’t quite figured out who’s in charge of the fight to pass the amendment, but once I do, all proceeds will be donated to that group.

Thanks Andy! I have a hard time believing those types of numbers too. Unfortunately, as the article implies, I’m afraid that part of the reason might be the recent tax increase included in the transportation bill. People don’t have much appetite for another increase, but I hope the case can be made that it’s a lot easier (and cheaper) to preserve our woods and waters now than to lose and spoil them and try to clean them up later.
